Two Antique Niger Bura Peoples Fired Clay Heads on Stands
Located in Morristown, NJ
Bura fired clay heads, possibly 3rd-10th c. CE, Niger, Bura peoples. These are very expressive examples on custom mounts, the larger with manganese deposits.
Between the 3rd and 10th centuries, the dead were laid to rest at a site in present-day Niger downstream from the Inland Niger delta. The burial ground’s density and expanse suggest a veritable city of the departed. Several hundred individual graves were marked by upturned pottery urns, some of which were cylinders topped by figurative imagery. The most elaborate of these were full-bodied equestrians, while the most basic were highly abstract, independent heads.
Note: These figures will be professionally packed by a specialist shipper at the sellers expense.
Dimensions:
11.25"h x 6.75"w x 3"d and 8"h x 3.75"w (incl. stands)

Large Signed Native American Hopi Original Mudhead Kachina Katsina Doll on Stand
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully handcrafted/detailed and decorated Native American Hopi Mudhead Kachina doll. Quite an unusually large work. A striking piece overall. Hand painted with leather and possibly turquoise (necklace) accompaniment.
Hopi katsina figures, also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root by the Hopi people. Initially, kachina dolls were made to instruct young girls and new brides about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain, control other aspects of the natural world and society, and act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. The Mudhead or Koyemsi figure is viewed as a clown/joker figure who is responsible for laughter and entertainment at Hopi dances and ceremonial events. He plays drums and games to keep his audience engaged.
The piece is signed by the artist under the base.

George Ohr (Potter) "Bag Shaped" Ceramic Savings Coin Bank Circa 1895
By George Ohr
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very rare item by famous and world renowned, avant garde "Mad Potter of Biloxi" George Ohr; known for creating many of his pieces with an abstract design, incorporating sexual and erotic themes, much in the same manner as Georgia O'Keefe (there is, in fact an "Ohr--O'Keefe Museum".
Many talented potters have tried to imitate his artistry, but with zero success, as his style is indigenous to himself----George Ohr. For more information it would behoove the interested antique historian and potter to acquire the authoritative book on the subject and the man, "The Mad Potter of Biloxi" written by Eugene Hechte, Garth Clark and Robert Ellison; published in 1989.
This bank is circa 1895 and is in completely original and excellent condition, with zero restoration, no cracks, and the original surface. It is clearly marked with the appropriate markings on the underneath (see images) "G.E Ohr, Biloxi Miss." indicating a date of 1895 as is documented in the reference book "Mad Potter oif Biloxi" on page 78. This was George Ohr's period of thin walled vessels and "Biloxi bisque". The bank resembles a bag of money and reveals the coin slot on the side, beneath and between a "fold". One of the reasons this bank is so rare is, that to remove the coins the bank had to be broken; not to mention, having been made of pottery, it was prone to breakage over time, regardless. Also of note, there are no two George Orr...
